    Hi to those of you that have done this before! :D

    A quick query - is a NSD one where I spend nothing or when where the HOUSEHOLD spends nothing? :confused:


    Hi Dragon, good question :confused: it's just me & DD - age 8 3/4) in out house & I think it would be mean to stop her spending her money just so I can have a NSD... actually I have made her use own money to buy a comic just so I could continue my NSD :o, maybe I'm taking this all too seriously .

    I reckon it should be the debtors only who count but that's just my opinion .

    Hiya can you put me down for 20NSD this month plz. Managed to do even better than my aug goal so thought i'd push myself a little more. Had a NSD today, wasnt meant to be tho. Had to buy a pair of jeans as my usual comfy ones were getting a bit thread bare but found an old gift card in my purse n ended up not having to pay for them. Love it when stuff like that happens, just doesn't happen ofen enough unfortunately.

    1 down 19 to go....
    Good luck everyone

    No-one seems to have gone for 9 yet... so stick me down! Managed 8 last month, and could probably have got another couple if I'd pushed myself - so the idea is to get as many as I can in the first half of the month and not be struggling towards the end!

    Does anyone have particular days on which they get NSDs? Mine tend to be Mondays and Fridays, for some reason! (Not today though, was weak-willed and went for a coffee at lunchtime)

    Didn't manage a NSD,but I only bought what I needed.Honest. Salad stuff,eggs and cheese.Should be no spend tomorrow though,only e-bay parcels to post and I'm not counting that because the buyer is paying.
    Does that make sense and is that O.K.?
